Stewart, McKellen Not In “Apocalypse”?

Speaking with Larry King recently, Patrick Stewart dropped one sad bit of news. King asked him if he was going to be in Bryan Singer’s upcoming “X-Men: Apocalypse” film to which he replied, “No. Nor Sir Ian McKellen, either.”

Stewart added “I was learning quite a lot more about it last night, and it is going to be looking very much at the earlier lives of all our characters. And so I don’t think we’ll be making an appearance.”

The news isn’t a huge surprise as the film is said to be focused on the ‘First Class’ mutants again as they tackle the threat of the rise of Apocalypse (Oscar Isaac).
